To be greeted by Mr Betal's warm smile and quiet unassuming manner, which cannot be said of all medics, at a time of worry and distress of this unexpected diagnosis helped tremendously. No words cannot truly express my heartfelt gratitude for his excellent care given by Mr Betal and his team, in coordination with the Macmillan Breast Care Nurses who were all excellent. Mr Betal's clear reassuring explanations and options helped my family and me to make the right choice. Opting for immediate reconstruction to get the ordeal over with in one hit is one I will not regret. His kind bedside manner help me to accept this and along with his sense of humour helped me to get through this daunting procedure. His surgical skills, experience, integrity and professionalism throughout were much appreciated, so much so I was able to be discharged within 24 hours. My retired GP father, sister and I are grateful to you beyond words as to your surgical skills and professionalism. We are all delighted at the outcome and should I need such a procedure in the future, I would not hesitate in going to Mr Betal or for my sister if that were ever necessary. The procedure was a new method and has proved highly successful in terms of my recovery time and comfort. Though I was horrified at the thought of needing a mastectomy, it was comforting to know all the problem area has been removed vs having a lumpectomy instead. The multiple follow ups since my operation have been very reassuring. The Breast Care Unit as a whole is one to be proud of and we consider ourselves fortunate to have it on our doorstep. From screening, investigation, diagnosis, clinics and pre-op procedures to the operation it was 7 weeks and one cannot ask for more.
